Hollywood is famous for its abundance of hot actors, but the New York theater has its own cadre of guys who are seething with sex appeal. Here's our tribute to some of the fabulous fellows you're likely to find performing on stage in NYC. We tried to cast a wide net, so in addition to such pretty Broadway faces as Cheyenne Jackson and Matt Cavenaugh, you'll find less well-known but no less smokin' hot men who have made their mark Off- and Off-Off-Broadway.
We'd love to have your feedback, but before you begin noting who we left out, please know the criteria we used for our selections. We wanted to focus on men who are truly part of the fabric of New York theater, so we leaned toward those who've been consistently active in this arena over the past few years and/or have had two or more major roles during that time.
Thus were eliminated such super-hot newcomers as Daniel Radcliffe, Terrence Howard, Paulo Szot, and Hunter Parrish, as well as several gents who've demonstrated a strong commitment to theater but have lately been kept away from the stage by their film or TV schedules — e.g., Neil Patrick Harris.
Also, we decided not to include "chorus boys" among our hotties, because if we had done so, the list would have had to be two or three times as long. So, here are the guys presented in alphabetical order. Enjoy!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and extrapolate that 35 of the 37 are Cheyenne Jackson, alongside Matthew Morrison and David Lindsey-Abaire, with some disgusting captions "I'd like him to 'du my Xana!", "He's hotter than the island on which his show takes place" or I'd like him to, uh, something something my Rabbit Hole!"
Dear God I hate myself.

Putting Nick Adams on the list is more obligatory than anything.
But I'm just fat and jealous so what do I know?

Posted: 1/28/09 at 8:15pmSorry, Curtis Holbrook has moved beyond being a chorus boy. All Shook Up, Xanadu, Saved and now West Side Story, all in which he had/has featured roles. And, oh, those legs!!!!!

Is it wrong that the only guys on this list I'm attracted to are Norm Lewis and Aaron Lazar and maybe Patrick Wilson sliiiightly?
PG2, I laughed out loud at your first post. It's so dang accurate.

I don't get it either, but I think he's really hot. I just don't get WHY I think he's hot!

After that recent thread about Nick Adams being nothing but a body, it's funny that he's the only one without his shirt on.
